Set the ring on the full size template in the instructions. Mark the leg/fin locations. The correct marking is important for the decal placement coming up.
Lightly mark with a pencil.
The top of the leg glue points were scraped. The inside of the triangle (Part G) pieces were scraped for better gluing.
Use white glue to glue the pieces on. Yellow glue will leave yellow staining on the finished model.
The vertical "I" pieces needed a little trimming to fit over the shoulder of the white tube and against the upper gold coupler.
Before doing any scraping, draw a pencil line for a guide.
These scraped lines are narrow!
It isn't necessary to pre-paint to assemble this model. I was trying to match the face card. Masking this small rocket after it is glued together would be very difficult.
